4 1. Introduction The Information and Communication Technology sector is acknowledged worldwide as a tool that could be used to increase the productivity, efficiency and effectiveness of work. However, in Sri Lanka, the level of ICT skills of the majority of the students is not adequate to meet the current requirements of business and industry. This is mainly due to lack of opportunities for students to study ICT related subjects in the school curriculum.. The student should learn at school a wide variety of competencies for different needs of life in the changing world. They should have various views and different ways to continue studies and proceed to employment. At present ICT is taught as a subject at G.C.E. (O/L) in a limited number of schools and at G.C.E. (A/L) in even less number of schools in Sri Lanka. In this situation students officially start to learn ICT at Grade 10 and as a result a heavy load of subject matter has to be included in ICT at G.C.E. (O/L). Distribution of ICT subject matter over lower Grades will definitely reduce this load and provide students with opportunity to learn ICT at early stages of school life. Therefore it has been decided to implement ICT as a subject from Grade 6 onward. The time allocated for ICT at Grade 7 is limited to 30 Periods (40 minutes per Period) per year only. During this period, learning is more focused on practical aspects of the subject with limited amount of theoretical content. This is a continuation of the Grade 6 ICT curriculum. More emphasis is placed on programming concept and inclusion of simple programming of hardware devices is also introduced at Grade 7. Students are expected to build ICT concepts through interaction with hardware and software of ICT. ii

5 2. National Goals 1. Based on the concept of respecting human values and understanding the differences between the Sri Lankan multi-cultural society, building up the nation and confirming the identity of Sri Lanka by promoting national integrity, national unity, national coherence and peace 2. While responding to the challenges of the dynamic world, identifying and conserving the National heritage. 3. Creating an environment which comprises of the conventions of social justice and the democratic life to promote the characteristics of respecting the human rights, being aware of the responsibilities, concerning each other with affectionate relationships. 4. Promoting a sustainable life style based on the people s mental and physical well-being and the concept of human values 5. Promoting the positive feelings needed for balanced personality with the qualities of creative skills, initiative, critical thinking and being responsible 6. Through education, developing the human resources, needed for the progress of the well-being of an individual, the nation as well as the economic growth of Sri Lanka. 7. Preparing the people for the changes that occur in a rapidly changing world by adapting to it and controlling them; developing abilities and potentialities of people to face the complex and unexpected occasions. 8. Sustaining the skills and attitudes based on justice, equality, mutual respect which is essential to achieve a respectable place in the international community. National Education Commission Report (2003) iii

Aims of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Curriculum Such a surge in the growth, development and the application of Information Communication Technology as today has never been experienced before. The importance and relevance of ICT to almost all walks of life today has made it all the more important that knowledge and expertise, both practical and theoretical, of its application, should begin at the very grassroots level of education. Aims to be achieved by the course are as follows: Develop basic skills useful to access ICT resources. Develop basic concepts in programming. Inculcate basic good practices in the use of ICT resources Inculcate basic computer literacy and develop a base for further pursuit of Information Technology and Communication Technology studies. vi
